State of the People, a 24-hour marathon:
a 24-hour livestream featuring leading Black activists, journalists, and elected officials, will take place from March 3rd at 11:59 PM ET to March 4th at 11:59 PM ET. Organized in response to the State of the Union, the event aims to offer a perspective on the country’s current challenges and the impact of recent policies on communities of color.
The livestream will feature a wide range of speakers, including Joy Reid, Rep. Maxine Waters, Rep. James E. Clyburn, Ibram X. Kendi, Ben Crump, Don Lemon, Angela Rye, and Tamika D. Mallory, among others. Discussions will cover issues such as economic equity, civil rights, and the social and political landscape.
Organizers say the event was created to provide a more direct conversation about the country’s condition, focusing on policies affecting marginalized communities. The State of the People is being held in partnership with Native Land Podcast and will include input from legal scholars, journalists, and advocates who will discuss both challenges and potential solutions.
